Protein for Low GFR: This Common Protein Is Quietly Destroying Your Kidneys

Описание: If you have a low GFR, the type of protein you eat may be doing far more damage than you realize. Many people focus on eating “less protein,” but that is not the real problem. The real danger is choosing the wrong protein source.
In this video, Dr. Mattheus from Kidney Health 365 explains how certain animal proteins trigger glomerular hyperfiltration, increase acid load, and accelerate kidney damage in people with low GFR and Stage 3 kidney disease. You’ll also learn why plant-based protein places far less stress on your nephrons and how a simple 70/30 protein balance can help stabilize creatinine and protect remaining kidney function.
Every meal matters when your kidneys are already struggling. Learn which proteins to avoid, which ones are safer, and how to support your GFR starting today.
Educational only. Always consult your nephrologist.
